VN-Index rose 0.27% to 1,766.65 points in the October 28, 2026 session, while HNX gained 0.14% to 259.86 points; HOSE trading volume rose 9.3% but stayed below its 20-session average. Foreign investors net sold over VND 267 billion on HOSE but net bought over VND 15 billion on HNX. Banks such as HDB (+3.86%) and VCB (+2.5%) supported the index, while FPT (-2.53%) faced the heaviest selling in the IT sector. On technicals, the Stochastic Oscillator and MACD still point upward, but the index needs to clear the 50-day SMA with improving liquidity; on HNX-Index, the gap between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs is narrowing, and a Death Cross would make the outlook weaker.

Large-cap stocks supported the index, with VIC adding nearly 6 points and STB hitting the ceiling price, although market breadth remained narrow with 144 gainers and 156 decliners on HoSE. Foreign investors net sold nearly VND 470 billion, mainly of ACB, but net bought about VND 152 billion of TCB. The article notes that news of Nguyễn Đức Thụy being nominated for VFF chairman was not the direct cause of STB's ceiling gain.
- Market Pulse 23/10: Hovering around the 1,755-point level
The VN-Index fell 4.5 points (-0.26%) to 1,756.13 at the midday break, while the HNX-Index stood at 261.07. Breadth tilted toward sellers, with 364 stocks down, 250 up and 929 unchanged.

- VN-Index drops 16 points after strong rally
VN-Index reversed from a strong early rally to close 16 points lower in the first session of the week, finishing below 1,690 points, its lowest in nearly 3 months and more than 12% below its record high of 1,927 points. Selling pressure focused on banks, with VIC down nearly 4% and pulling the index down more than 13 points, while oil and gas stocks such as PVT, BSR and GAS rose about 1-2% and helped limit the decline. Liquidity reached over VND 13,000 billion, and foreign investors extended their net selling to 19 consecutive sessions, buying about VND 1,400 billion against sales of about VND 2,200 billion. MBS said seasonality is driving the market, as October has historically been the weakest period of the year, and Q3 earnings may not be enough to create a broad ripple effect. TPS sees the index nearing long-term support around 1,685 points, with any sustained recovery depending on improved liquidity.

- Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed
Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.
- Asia stocks fall as Alphabet, Samsung results disappoint; more tech earnings loom
Asian stocks fell on Thursday as disappointing results from Alphabet and a sell-off in Samsung Electronics weighed on tech shares. Alphabet shares slumped about 10% in after-hours trading after results missed expectations and signalled heavy AI infrastructure spending, while Microsoft gained about 3%. South Korea's KOSPI fell about 3% as Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) dropped nearly 6% despite record third-quarter earnings, on a semiconductor profit miss and no immediate details on extra shareholder returns. Samsung's mobile unit posted an 800 billion won operating loss on higher memory costs. The KOSPI had rallied nearly 7% on Wednesday after SK Hynix (KS:000660) jumped 11% on strong profit and a 100 trillion won ($75 billion) shareholder-return plan.
- Cambodia's gold reserves hit a record high
According to the IMF, Cambodia's official gold reserves reached a record 57.3 tonnes (about 1.84 million ounces) in the first half of 2026, up 5.3% from 54.4 tonnes at end-2025. Holdings stayed near 399,800 ounces from 1998 to mid-2015 before rising steadily. Analyst Chey Tech said the increase reflects confidence in the economy and the riel, and described public debt as manageable, with reported net debt of $13.56 billion in Q2 2026.
- Nvidia Shareholders Have a Major Reason to Be Bullish After Jensen Huang's Latest Announcement
At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.
- Vietnam's public debt is around 34% of GDP
Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng said at a dialogue with WEF CEO Stephan Mergenthaler at the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on 28 October that Vietnam's public debt is about 34% of GDP, leaving fiscal room to support people and businesses during economic shocks and to fund strategic infrastructure. He outlined five measures to strengthen resilience: keeping political and social stability and macroeconomic fundamentals sound; improving institutions and legal frameworks; building modern infrastructure and promoting science, technology and digital transformation; reforming education and vocational training; and broadening foreign relations. Vietnam aims to become an emerging hub for digital technology, new energy, green energy and green agriculture by 2035, and a reliable link in regional and global supply chains.
